Kitchen Knife Guy

Hi, I’m Franki — the Kitchen Knife Guy.

I’ve been obsessed with kitchen knives for over 23 years—using, collecting, and documenting tools from knifesmiths around the world. I’m an independent, user-first voice—I’m not a maker, and I don’t sell knives.

On this channel, you’ll find in-depth knife reviews, Japanese kitchen knives, sharpening and knife care, interviews with knifesmiths, and the science and history behind great blades.

My goal is to bridge knifesmiths and knife users—helping you understand what makes a great kitchen knife, and why it matters in daily cooking.

Whether you're buying your first quality knife or refining a curated collection, there’s always something new to discover.

Subscribe and follow along as we explore the knives that turn cooking into a true art.
